Next, travel to the southwest to the card shown below to trigger an event involving Buzzing Wings.
Select “Revenge Shall Be Mine” to start a battle with the Wasp that has 15 Attack, 40 Health and 8 Defense. After you defeat it, you’ll earn the 5 Star Wasp card!
Travel between the above card and the Desert Circus to find a chest containing an Inspirilixir near a Tent.
Next, interact with the Tent. You’ll unlock the Burly Boy’s flipside story! Afterward, travel to the chest that has appeared to the south of the Tent.
Interact with it to unlock the Clown’s flipside story. You’ll then need to travel north to the cactus that has appeared.
Again, interact with this card to unlock the Acrobat’s flipside story. To progress the story, head northwest of the Desert Circus to find a chest containing a Poisonstay Ring!
As shown in the picture above, make sure to step on the card with the Avatar (card just south of the chest) as we found an event involving a Tarnished Bangle on this card. Select to keep it for an event described further down involving the Sandprowler Czar! Next, interact with the Sand Ruins just west of the above chest. You’ll then be tasked with finding the girl’s companion in the Sand Ruins!
Sand Ruins
After you enter the Sand Ruins, head north and take the first path on the left to find a chest at the end containing a Bellwether.
From there, make your way to the northeast to find a chest containing a Darkstay Ring!
When you’re ready to progress through this floor, head to the northwest. After the brief scene, make your way into the hidden chamber where you’ll find a chest containing 1200G!
Afterwards, continue north and around the hidden chamber to find another chest. This one has a Quality Salve.
With this floor successfully explored, head southwest from the previous chest to find the stairs leading to Sand Ruins B1. Take them down. On the western side of this area, you’ll find a chest containing a Panacea.
We looped around the north of this area then some dialog triggered saying there might be a breakable wall somewhere. Head directly east of the stairs to find this breakable wall and interact with it. Enter the hidden passage then head south to find a chest and interact with it. This will trigger a fight against 3 monsters. Defeat them all to receive the Simple Key. Afterwards, head directly north to find a Weathered Stela.
Interact with the card to trigger an event. Insert the Tarnished Bangle to trigger a fight against a Skeleton that has 16 attack, 50 HP and 8 Defense. Defeat it to receive a Ring of Life! You’ll also receive A Memory in Sand trophy for defeating the Sandprowler Czar sealed within the Sand Ruins.
Now that you’re ready to continue forward, head directly south of the stairs to find a door. Interact with it then insert the Simple Key. Before heading down the stairs, interact with the chest in the southeastern corner to receive an Omnisalve.
Afterwards, head down the stairs to reach Sand Ruins B2. Continue directly north to run across a mysterious card.
Interact with it to begin a fight against a serpent monster with 23 Attack, 100 HP and 10 Defense. Defeat it then leave the Sand Ruins.
Desert Circus
After you exit the Sand Ruins, return to the Desert Circus to trigger a cutscene. When it concludes, interact with the scantily clad woman near a monster to obtain the Mild-mannered Woman’s flipside story. Afterwards, speak with L’gol. Once you’ve spoken to everyone, head to the Circus Tent in the middle of the town to begin the show! You’ll get to choose from one of the following rewards:
- Inspirilixir
- 900G
- Numbstay Ring
After a bit more dialog, a fight against a dragon monster with 20 Attack, 50 HP and 10 Defense will trigger. Defeat it to gain Tralis as a party member! Next, interact with L’gol and wake him. Leave the town to trigger a cutscene ending the chapter.
